ONE NUMBER. INFINITE STORIES.™
YOUR NUMBER. FOR LIFE.
Different years. Different stories. The same number.
YOUR NUMBER FOR LIFE.
At Cape100, your race number is more than a number assigned for one day.
Every athlete who enters Cape100 receives a permanent Cape100 race number.
That number becomes yours and remains connected to you throughout your Cape100 journey.
Return in another year, and you return with the same number.
ONE NUMBER. INFINITE STORIES.
Over time, one number may represent a first 100 kilometre finish, a personal best, unfinished business, friendships made on the road, or years of returning to Cape100.
Different years. Different stories.
One Number. Infinite Stories.™
HOW YOUR NUMBER WORKS.
Your permanent Cape100 number is allocated when you first enter the event.
When you return in future editions, you race under the same number.
Each return adds another chapter to your Cape100 journey.
Athletes who enter Cape100 for the first time in future editions will also receive their own permanent number.
The number stays the same. The stories attached to it continue to grow.
THE NUMBER STAYS. THE DESIGN EVOLVES.
Your permanent Cape100 number never changes, but the appearance of your race bib may evolve from year to year.
Standard Cape100 race numbers will follow the race bib design for each edition. Your permanent number will remain the same, regardless of the design.
In this example, an athlete enters Cape100 for the first time in 2028 and is allocated permanent number 3048.
Whether they return in 2030, 2032 or beyond, they retain number 3048. Only the race bib design changes.
ONE EXCEPTION. THE BLACK RACE NUMBER.
Athletes who start the inaugural Cape100 on 5 September 2027 earn Founding Member status for life.
Unlike standard race bibs, which follow the design of each edition, Founding Members receive a distinctive black race number whenever they return to Cape100.
Their permanent number remains unchanged.
Founding Member status and the black race number are exclusive to athletes who start the inaugural 2027 event.

EVERY STORY HAS A BEGINNING.
Permanent Cape100 race numbers are not exclusive to the inaugural event.
Whether you first enter Cape100 in 2027, 2028, 2030 or 2040, your permanent number becomes yours.
Every return adds to the story connected to that number.
SAME NUMBER. A STORY THAT KEEPS GROWING.
The years will change. The race bib designs may change. The stories will continue to grow.
Your permanent Cape100 number will remain the same.
